On Vacation Meals.
Mom made me breakfast this morning! She just put together what’s left in the fridge since we’ve cleared it out ;)
She made a huge plate for me but she doesn’t realize that my stomach can’t take in all that food anymore. I need smaller portions. I couldn’t finish it all.
But…Breakfast was yummy.
Potatoes, mushrooms, onions, wieners (yes I know! but it was delicious), scrambled eggs, flat pizza bread with pesto and tomato and lastly watermelon and grapes.
This was my last Breakfast with mom before heading back to NYC but we are going to make a very yummy healthy dinner tonight! :)

Quick Tips for Weight Loss
9. Divide your plate—and you’ll stay satisfied longer.
Trim calories without feeling deprived by dividing your plate like this: Fill half the plate with low-calorie—yet satisfying, fiber-rich—vegetables. Divide the other half of the plate into two equal portions (quarters). Fill one of these quarters with a lean protein, such as chicken, fish, lean beef or tofu. (Research suggests that, gram for gram, protein may keep you feeling fuller longer than carbohydrates or fat.) Fill the other quarter with a filling, fiber-rich whole grain, such as brown rice or quinoa.

Quick Tips for Weight Loss
2. Use a smaller plate.
As serving sizes have increased, so have plate sizes—and seeing appropriately sized portions swimming on a giant plate can make you feel like you’re not getting much food. Put your main meal on a 7-inch plate, which is about the size of a salad plate or child-size plate. Choose a 1-cup dessert or cereal bowl instead of a soup bowl, a 6-ounce wineglass rather than a goblet. When you’re eating out, ask for an extra salad plate and transfer the proper-size portions of your food onto it when you’re served your entree. Then ask the waiter to take away and wrap up the rest.
